Steven walked to Mac's office, and Mac laughed, "Oh it isn't time already"?
"No you can stay a little longer, Stella has your coffee. Please be honest are you having any pain"?
"A little but to be expected, remember I was shot Steven"
"Mac don't be that way".
"I'm fine, why don't you let Stella show you around"?
Stella smiled, "Oh smooth Mac, are you trying to get rid of poor Steven"?
"Yes, how did you guess". Stella laughed, and she took Steven's hand, and whispered, "Lets go downstairs, and get a real coffee". He went with her, and they went down on the elevator. Stella laughed as Steven moved really close to her. She whispered, "I can't kiss you in this elevator, it wouldn't be proper beside, there is cameras everywhere". Steven and Stella laugh, as the elevator opened, and they walked out, going to the small cafe next door.
Mac and Lindsay were going over some of the evidence, when Sid walked in.
"Oh Mac you are back"
Lindsay smiled, "No he is visiting only, but it is nice having him here"
"Here is something that I was bringing for Stella, where is she"?
"Oh she went for a break, give it to me, she won't mind". Sid handed him the report, and Mac looked, "OMG Sid this is great, you got partials, have you ran them through the system".
"Yes, but guess what we don't have a match on the system. It probably is the killer but they never have been charged, or booked before"
"Oh you know what this means, all the suspects have to come in they need to be fingerprinted. Lindsay you have to go to Judge Powell, he will sign the warrants for us". Lindsay walked to her desk, and called Judge Powell's secretary. She told them what they needed, and she said she would call her, as soon as she talked to Judge Powell. Lindsay walked to the office, and told Sid and Mac. Don walked into the office, and said he had a call on line one, he thinks it is the person doing the killings.
Mac put the phone on speaker phone, and asked who he was talking to?
"Who am I talking to"?
"This is CSI Detective First Grade: Mac Taylor"
"You are in charge"
"Yes, who is this"?
'You can't trace this call, I'm calling from a untraceable cell phone. You guys think you will catch me, but you won't. I will never stop because you all will not get these animals off the street. Do your job, and maybe I can end this".
"What your doing, what makes you any more better than them"?
"I'm not but the kids, and people they kill, I'm doing it for them"
"They wouldn't want this, let us do our job"
"I waited and waited, but no one paid for my child's death. Mac, Lindsay and Sid, and Don stare at each other. Mac tried to stay calm, he didn't want to lose this call.
"I'm sorry your child, tell us about him or her, what happened"?
"You are trying to figure out who I am, this thing that disguises voices is amazing, you people don't know if I'm a woman or a man do you"?
"No, but I can see you are hurting, and we are so sorry"
"I hate what I'm doing, but I can't stop, tonight, you will hear of more deaths. I have been watching these idiots for days. Your Fellow Police Officers have been talking to them, they laugh at you, like you are fools, and you are. I don't care anymore about myself, I will make every last one of them pay, that is a promise". Mac yelled, but the phone went dead, and Mac slammed his hands on the table.
"Sid take this to the lab, see if you can figure out if this is a woman or man? Sid took the tape from the phone, that Mac turned on, when the call started. They all knew the phone was untraceable, but they also knew he or she was losing control, whoever it was in someway was feeling remorse, but they knew tonight, more drug dealers were going to be killed, and they knew they probably couldn't stop it from happening.
Mac sat back, he hated that more people had to die. He hated how so many lives end due to drugs, and alcohol. He looked at Lindsay, and Sheldon, and yelled, "these fools, are going to die one at a time, but they are to stupid to listen to our warning". Lindsay touched Mac's hand, "Stop Mac, don't get worked up, remember you are not suppose to be here".
"Should we release this tape to the News, maybe it will keep them inside, and safe for one night"? Lindsay looked at Sheldon, go make a copy of that tape, and take it to our contacts, with the News Stations. Tell them to release this on the news by 6pm. This man is going to kill someone, we have no choice". Sheldon ran to Sid's office, he asked him to make a copy of the tape. He ran it to the stations himself. He called called Stella, to tell her what was happening.
'Sheldon what do you mean, the killer called, and I wasn't called, and advise about it"?
"It came in, you were not available Mac was. I'm telling you, because Mac wants this released to the New's stations. This person is going to kill again tonight, this is the only thing we can do, because otherwise, we have no way of stopping it".
"Sheldon releasing this tape isn't going to stop it, but go ahead, I will talk to you later". Sheldon hung up, and knew Stella was upset she wasn't called first. Stella smiled, 'Steven I think we better get back upstairs".
"Are you ok, what did Mac do"?
"Nothing, come on". Steven threw the money down, and they walked back to the office. Mac and Lindsay were talking when Stella walked in.
"Stella you heard you were not here, you were with Steven"
"I know, but you sent Sheldon out to release this tape. I didn't even get to hear it. I thought I was suppose to be in charge, well that isn't so I guess".
"Stella stop, you were not here, you are in charge, but I'm coming back "
"I know Mac, but I should have been called".
"Sorry you are right". Lindsay smiled, "You two talk, me and Steven will be out here". Steven and Lindsay left, and shut the door. Stella sat down, and stared at Mac, who smiled, "Oh God you have a temper Stella, I didn't do this to make you look bad"
"I know Mac, I'm just upset, I hate that we are not any closer to finding this person, who is killing because their loved one died due to drugs. I'm getting calls from parents, and groups asking me why I'm going after the man that is taking the scum off the streets. I know I'm doing my job, but I can't even answer them, they are evil, they are killing innocent people everyday. I hate that once, I find this person who is already dead inside due to hatred, and due to losing, what was their life, he gets put in prison, and those idiots will still be dealing on the streets. You will never stop it Mac ever".
'Ok Stella this case is getting to everyone, we can't think that way. We only do one case at a time, I know we will never end the corruption, and violence, hell if we did Stella we all would be out of a job".
"Oh I would love to be out of a job, for that reason Mac". Mac smiled, and put his hand out to her. "Stella I'm sorry, your upset, you are right, I should have called you".
"No, I was overreacting, I'm sorry". They both laugh, and sat talking for a while, and Mac, whispered, "I will go , and let you do your job".
Stella hugged him, "Our Job Mac, I can't wait until you return, I hate being in charge". He smiled, and whispered, "I will be back soon count on it". Stella walked to the door, and Steven and Lindsay walked in, and smiled.
Chapter 34 Plot by Jennifer, and Jessie Written by Jessie
Steven said goodbye to Stella, and he was walking Mac to the elevator. Lindsay ran over, 'Mac I will be home at 6, maybe we can watch a movie tonight after dinner"?
"I can think of other things I would rather do"
Lindsay and Steven laughed, "Ok Mac in your dreams, love you". Mac got in the elevator, and Lindsay waved, as the door shut. She walked back to Stella's office, and smiled, "are you ok Stella"?
"Yes, I'm fine, I was just upset that I wasn't asked before the tape was released to the news media"
"Mac just thought it was best to warn the Dealers, but we know they won't listen, and probably someone will die tonight. I hope this guy stops, what he is doing isn't really getting justice for his loved one"
Stella smiled, "Well he or she doesn't agree".
"Stella what did you and Steven talk about earlier"?
"Oh I was flirting with him, he is so sweet. I really like Steven, I would like to go out with him, if it won't upset Mac"
"Why don't you drop by tonight, me and Mac are going to spend time alone in our room"
'Oh Lindsay is Mac ready for that"? Lindsay sat down, "to watch a movie, maybe you, and Steven can have a date out in the living room".
"Well it might end up in Steven's room, and than what"?
"OMG Stella you are naughty girl".
"Not really I'm lonely what the heck".
"Ok we will have dinner, and you are coming home with me ok".
"Sure lets get some work done, so we can leave on time". They were going through files, when Sheldon walked in.
"Stella they are playing the tapes on four stations, at 5 pm tonight".
"Ok thanks Sheldon".
"Sid said he is going over the tape, he says it is a man, that made it".
"I thought so, but who is the man Sheldon, can you bring him to me"? Sheldon smiled, "I will but when I don't know". Danny and Don walked into the office, "Where is Mac"?
"He went home, he was tired", Lindsay smiled,
'Darn, I wanted to say hi".
"Did you guys, get any thing today talking to the people on the streets"?
"No not really, I need a shower, after talking to these people. They don't have a clue, they are not scared even after all the deaths"
"Great well we tried , we better find this guy before he gets himself killed".
Don laughed, "He is a killer, and we feel sorry for him". Danny touched his shoulder, "He was the good guy, that lost it".
Danny walked out, and Don said he was going to see if Sid had anything for them. Sheldon smiled, "Mac is really looking good, he will be back soon".
"I hope so Sheldon, we need him". Stella got up, and walked out of the office.
"Lindsay I didn't mean she wasn't great at the job"
"She is fine, she is just feeling the stress, and she really does hope Mac returns soon".
Steven got Mac home, and helped him into bed. Mac laid back he didn't want to admit it, he was exhausted, but he stronger everyday".
Steven helped him change, and Mac said he was going to have a nap. Steven walked out shutting the door, and Mac shut his eyes, and fell asleep.

good analysis of the work dynamics...like not wanting to step on anyone;s toes by Mac returning that sort of thing... you are very perceptive at that sort of thing at it shows in your writng,,,extra details make a story even more enjoyable and believable. great work there Jessie keep up what you are doing. brilliant (ps I still have no idea who Lindsay !!! lol) but its a great story
"You don't look big girl, I can't wait until you do". Lindsay smiled, "Stella is here, she is going to have a date night with Steven".
"Oh really date night here, creepy".
"You be nice, we are going to have dinner with them"
"Why can't they have dinner alone, and we can have dinner in bed"?
"No Stella bought Chinese food, we are not letting her down".
"Ok, get Steven, I don't want your help getting out of bed". Lindsay got Steven, he helped Mac, get to the kitchen table. He sat down, and smiled, "Yum spring rolls". Stella laughed, "I know this is your favorite take out".
"It is my favorite by far". They all sat down eating. Stella smiled at Mac, he shook his head as he saw Steven staring at Stella.
"Steven eat Buddy, she bought the food".
"Oh Mac, I'm eating, you eat, you need your strength".
"Sure do, me and Lindsay have big plans tonight".
"Yeah watching TV, is big plans". Stella touched Mac"s arm, "Oh poor Mac, you have to get all better ok".
"You both be good out here, when we go watch TV"
"We will Mac promise".
They finished dinner, Steven brought out dessert, and they had coffee. Steven helped Mac get back in bed, and Lindsay helped Stella clean up. Steven asked Mac if he needed anything?
"Yeah some loving from my girl, but she is scared".
"Mac don't rush things, but it will happen soon".
"Yeah right she will get bigger, and not want to". Steven laughed, "Oh right, I never had that problem before".
"Yeah I bet your such a stud Steven".
"You and Lindsay have fun, and if you need anything just yell"
"Yeah I will, be good Steven".
"Goodnight Mac, you be good". Steven walked out, and Lindsay walked past him, "Stella is in the living room, have fun Steven". Lindsay walked into the bedroom, and she walked over to Mac. She grabbed the converter, and turned the TV on. He snuggled close, and she put on a Detective Drama, they both loved those. Mac would try to solve the case before the TV Detectives did. Lindsay would laugh, he always guessed the killer he was good. She snuggled real close, and he whispered, "Am I going to get lucky Lindsay"?
"Mac no".
"OK you can't blame a guy for trying can you"?
"Mac watch the show". She smiled as he laughed, and they both watched the TV.
Steven brought Stella a glass of wine, while he had a ginger ale.
"Ginger ale Steven"?
"Oh yes, I'm on duty, I can't drink"
Stella smiled, "I'm having wine this has been a long day". She took a sip, and Steven sat beside her. She snuggled close, she loved just being in his arms. He was talking, she just listened, she just wanted to hear normal everyday things, she was tired of hearing about killings, and murders. He took her glass putting it down, and touched her chin. She smiled, "What are you doing Steven"?
"This". He brought his lips over hers, and they kissed, and she never whispered, "Oh kiss me again Steven". He smiled, and he did just that.
